Writing source code that can call functions from a library

No, but linking to it does.
The GPL *allows* a library to be loaded into memory and
subsequently executed (i.e. glibc.so.xxx). So how does "linking"
(call [a routine] and return) to that code violate anything?
Oh, that poor dimwitted RJack at his lost cause again.
Ever heard of that special exceptions clause in the GPL concerning
system libraries?
